Dilemma 2/9/09

You have the magical power to stop one and only one of the following two scenarios. Which would you prevent?

1. In our effort to explore Mars, we accidentally wipe out any microbial life it might have.
2. The first human colony on Mars is wiped out by an undiscovered Martian virus.

I would prevent #1. If a human colony goes and is wiped out by a virus, maybe it's our fault for invading them. It would be worse to wipe out life, I think.

I'm with Eden; I'd prevent #1; it's like North America & smallpox. Boo. #2 is kind of delicious irony.
